Value to the Town.

Special to the Globe.
DULUTH, Mimi, Dec. 15.-The most
important improvement in Duluth this
winter has been begun on the immense
new coal dock, Of the Pioneer Fuel
Company. of Minneapolis. The con-
tract was awarded yesterday and a
small force of men was at work clearing
up to-day. The force will be greatly
augmented: and the work pushed rap
idly during the winter. The dock is to
be LOCO feet in length by $50 feet in
width, having capacity of 100000 tons.
This will be one of the largest at
the head of the lake and most substan-
tial. 1t will be solid earth crib work,
and can not be completed by early
spring, although it is hoped to have
portion ready for the reception of the
first boats. The estimated cost is S75,-
OOO 1t will greatly increase the ca
pacity of Duluth'S coal dock system.
The receipts of coal at this port the past
season were very nearly 100000 tons,
as against about $1,000 tons the year
previous, and in another year it is safe
to estimate that 100000 tons will be
handled in Duluth.
